PSP Launch Party in NYC
by Josh Rubin
It's rumored that Thursday's US drop of the Sony Play Stations Portable will be over 1 million units. For those of you in NYC who want to celebrate and even better, get a PSP hours before the rest, there's a launch event at the Sony Style store tomorrow night. Carson Daly will be hosting and Danger Mouse will be spinning, and the first 500 in the door get to purchase a PSP at the stroke of midnight.
Check out this flyer for details.
Eric Doeringer: Contraband
by Josh Rubin
New York art magazine and exhibition space Animal commissioned Eric Doeringer to make a piece for their most recent issue/show. He came up with Contraband, a series of sculptures made out of items whose possession, sale, use, and/or transportation across state or international borders is illegal. Each item is bottled, labeled and shrink-wrapped in red plastic. The series contains 24 items ranging from hallucinogenic mushroom spores to a counterfeit Louis Vuitton scarf.
The sculptures are on display at Animal, 437 East 9th Street, New York, NY.
Destined Magazine

Destined is a new online magazine and collective featuring hot young photographers, illustrators and designers. Each week three artists will be featured, making Destined a new stop on my weekly tour. This week's featured artists include Johnny Chuk, Karen Oxman and YangTan. While it's currently only available on the web, there's a print version in the works for later this year.
Unholy Matrimony Shirt
by Josh Spear
Hint Fashion Magazine, has a pretty solid line up of designer and limited edition T's in their online shop. They have a neat 'King of Rock' T-shirt, by Ken Courtney from Ju$t Another Rich Kid, a Patrik Rzepski design, and more. The design that caught my eye though was the Unholy Matrimony shirt by L.A. artist and designer Brett Westfall. All of his shirts are one of a kind, his designs are all from the work of a paint brush. He has described his "work of art" t-shirt's as "functioning fine art". He says his shirts are all from a deeper meaning than just for the artwork. "It was about working against negativity to pursue what is true freedom and peace.", says Westfall. The shirt is available in a few different color options has a hefty $160 price tag, but fine art should be priceless.
